While taking care of our teeth, most of us neglect our gums. Gum disease can result in tooth loss and more severe conditions like kidney diseases and heart attack. Good oral health and hygiene are essential for improving social interaction and to promote self-esteem. You must brush teeth twice a day including once at night. Have gum massage often and rinse your mouth after every meal. You should even floss daily. Eating fibrous food and keeping yourself from processed junk food will also help.
